IMHO: I would be happy to see bugs against my own packages that *clearly* increased usability and readability of code, as long as they included tested, working, patches. But a bug that asks to change coding style just for the sake of style or preference of someone who isn't even working on the software at all wouldn't be as welcome. -- Wesley J.
